The 25 winners from the fourth qualifying round were Spennymoor United, Blyth Spartans, Shildon, Workington, Darwen, Stalybridge Celtic, Wigan Athletic, Dinnington Athletic, Scunthorpe & Lindsey United, Burton Town, Birmingham Corporation Tramways, Boston United, Walthamstow Avenue, Bedford Town, Harwich & Parkeston, Wimbledon, Golders Green (formerly known as Hampstead Town and later to be known as Hendon), Dartford, Folkestone, Ashford, Guildford City, Leyton, Bath City, Barry and Yeovil & Petter's United. Those appearing in the competition proper for the first time were Dinnington Athletic, Birmingham Corporation Tramways, Bedford Town, Harwich & Parkeston, Golders Green and Ashford. Wigan Athletic and Boston United also qualified for the main draw for the first time in their own right, however predecessor clubs from both those towns had featured at this stage in recent seasons. Birmingham Corporation Tramways, Ashford and Guildford City had progressed to this stage from the extra preliminary round. Birmingham Tramways defeated Boldmere St Michaels, Bromsgrove Rovers, Leamington Town, Stourbridge, Shrewsbury Town and Louth Town; Ashford beat Royal Marines Deal, Ramsgate, Aylesford Paper Mills, Sittingbourne, London Paper Mills and Northfleet United; while Guildford City overcame Woking, Banstead Mental Hospital, Wills Sports, Epsom, Post Office Engineers and Worthing. All three clubs lost in the first round. First round proper At this stage 41 clubs from the Football League Third Division North and South joined the 25 non-league clubs that came through the qualifying rounds. Chesterfield, Millwall and Luton Town were given byes to the third round. To make the number of matches up, non-league sides Corinthian and Dulwich Hamlet were given byes to this round, with Dulwich Hamlet having won the previous season's FA Amateur Cup. 34 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 24 November 1934. Six were drawn and went to replays in the following midweek fixture, of which the Southport–New Brighton game went to a second replay. Wigan Athletic's comprehensive upset of Carlisle United at Brunton Park established a record for the largest margin of victory by a non-league club over a League club at the League club's home ground. This record is still standing in the 21st century (although it was equalled by Boston United against Derby County in 1955-56).
